Many of us grew up watching Will Smith’s Fresh Prince of Bel-Air sitcom. Uncle Phil, Aunt Viv, and cardigan-loving Carleton. Now, Will Smith, himself, has joined with Airbnb to offer up the very mansion where the Fresh Prince lived for five nights of rental. It commemorates the show’s 30-year anniversary and costs a mere $30 per night if you’re “Ready for the freshest staycation ever”. The stay will include access to Will’s bedroom (minus Will, of course), a full bathroom, pool and outdoor lounge, and the dining room. All meals will be served on silver platters (no kitchen access due to COVID-19). Major perks also include a pair of Air Jordan sneakers for each guest, the loan of fancy outfits during the stay, and access to DJ Jazzy Jeff’s turntables. In what’s easily the best perk, Will and Jazzy Jeff will include guests in Smith’s Instagram Sunday via celebrity selfie with the pair. Bookings start September 29 for October 2, 5, 8, 11, and 14 but only for L.A. County residents who can prove a current living situation in the same household.
